===== From lowellr@globaldialog.com: I like the sky effects ===== From jsaxton@folio.com: Very nice modelling work on the truck and houses. The sky and trees are also very nicely done. The lighting and sky convincingly set the time to just before sunset. Nice concept. I agree that the image would have suffered without the arms. Too bad they are not a bit more convincing. For some reason the truck seems to float above the road. It seems like there should be more of a shadow under it. ===== From jroy@internauts.ca: Nice pic. Clever and funny. Nice shades and colors. ===== From kosh@nesys.com: A good example of what CSG can do. Really has a nice overall feel. The hands aren't all THAT bad, you can see what it would take to finish them up for next time. ===== From agage@mines.edu: Very detailed and amusing image. I especially like the "setting sun" sky effect. The detail on the houses is excellent, too. Incidentally, I still do all of my work with a DX2/66 -- and most of my final proofs take a couple of days to finish. I can imagine how long this one would have run if allowed on a DX2/80... ===== From 101741.541@compuserve.com: Nice afternoon ambiance. Lightning is slightly incoherent (sky/ground). ===== From wozzeck@club-internet.fr: Nice picture. A bit too plastic (shadowless?) but I like it! ===== From jaime@ctav.es: Very nice & fine. Nice idea. And very good composition. Great! ===== From bobfranke@halcyon.com: Very nice. I especially like the sky and the ice cream truck. You are right, the image would be lifeless without the child's arms. I think the arms are better than you give yourself credit. The main area for improvement, for me, is the grass in the foreground. The distant trees work well. Some may consider them cheating, but modeling a distant silhouetted object can be a waste of time. ===== From Martin.Magnusson.7121@student.uu.se: Very good clouds. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Very nice picture. Nice sky. Van seems a little large. ===== From bill.marrs@pureatria.com: I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! ===== From no13@ozemail.com.au: Nice to see another Australian entering such a fantastic image. ===== From c_et_d@club-internet.fr: A great fifty's dream, but without the hands... ===== From msfl.bf@fasonet.bf: Hmm, reminds me of a first person view from an old horror movie, or some Doom- like game ;) Very nice image, good modelling, and lots of details. ===== From r@dial-23.ocis.net>: Definitely my favorite. Incredible late-afternoon atmosphere, lighting and sky set a nice mood. Cute idea, great truck. The only thing I'd say I didn't like about the picture were the hands. Good idea, but didn't seem to work as well as it could have in this case... Notable for originality, composition, textures, modelling, lighting ===== From r@ww-td04.proxy.aol.com>: Captured a mood here. The sky, houses, and icecream truck are all well done. ===== From r@tholian.bankamerica.com>: Good composition, but contrast in background to subdued. Notable for composition ===== From r@regulus.its.uu.se>: Hmmm, where's the driver? Nice lighting. Put some more blobs on the hands to make them smoother.
